Although most HPV infections are benign and many strains clear on their own, certain strains have serious consequences, including cervical cancer and genital warts; c. HPV has been detected in over 90% of cervical cancer cases, and the American Cancer Society estimates that over 9,700 new cases of HPV-related cervical cancer will occur in the United States this year; and d. It is appropriate to take measures through education to significantly reduce medical problems and deaths attributable to HPV. L.2007, c.134, s.1.
